[CLOSED] They say I'm seeking out the danger

WHO: Raina and Skye
WHERE: An alleyway in Heropa
WHEN: April 25th, midday
WHAT: Surprise encounter
WARNINGS: Possible language, possible violence, Skye might quake out. \o/ will update as needed!

[ Whatever aftermath she has had to deal with when it comes to Chilton, whatever fragile state he's in, Raina doesn't leave his side until she's sure he's stabilized. And even then, it's only briefly -- going out to get him something to eat. She gets out of the cab at a gourmet sandwich shop (only the finest one in town) and as she leans in to tell the cab driver she'll only be a moment, her eyes happen to catch sight of a very familiar face. A face that makes her blood run cold and her body tense. ]

You know what? Nevermind. I think I'll stay a while. How much do I owe you?

[ Recovering enough to offer the driver her award winning smile to which the driver gives her a greatly discounted price, Raina pays up and tips generously before she straightens herself upright, watching the cab drive away. Her attention drifts back to Skye and she cants her head toward the young woman, waiting. She waits until they make eye contact, offers the faintest smirk before she saunters toward the alley between buildings -- the closest they can get to a private encounter. She's sure there are many things Skye has to say, and the least Raina can do is manipulate the situation so they're not causing a scene. ]
hackitude: annoyed, angry, yelling (morning broke and the sky fell down)

[Skye isn't sure of what she's seeing, at first-- Raina, out of the corner of her eye? Surely not.

But a second glance proves it has to be her. And she has the gall to walk away from her?

Skye makes chase immediately. The agent side of her brain says this could be a trap. But whatever. She can take Raina in a fight-- or anything she might dish out.]


Hey! ... Hey! [She yells after her and rounds the corner, finally coming face to face with Raina in close range. Her suspicions confirmed.]
hackitude: angry (the hounds will stay in chains)

Raina.

Yeah, well I've got news for you. I've been here for almost a year. This is my city, so you better back the hell off.
hackitude: angry (hail hydra bitches)

[Skye clenches a fist by her side, but keeps her cool.]

You expect me to believe you came all the way here for a salad? Bullshit. What're you really up to?
hackitude: amused, disbelief (we walk blind and we try to see)

Oh, right, because it would be so crazy to be suspicious of you after all the shit you've pulled, am I right?
hackitude: ew, nope (but then I finally felt the weight)

[Raina's lucky Skye doesn't utterly launch herself at her bodily. The only reasons she hasn't is because she's still scared of what will happen if she loses control, and because she knows how it works with old grudges in new worlds. Raina hasn't done anything arrest-worthy yet. So Skye can do nothing.

It galls her, but them's the breaks. So she grits her teeth.]


Get your salad and go, Raina. And stay away from my city. And my friends.

I know what I am. I know that if I felt like it, I could drop you like a hot potato into a hole in the ground ten miles deep.
hackitude: annoyed, gritting teeth (it's time to leave and turn to dust)

[Skye seethes, trying to keep a handle on it. Keep calm, keep calm, she repeats in her head. But the ground starts vibrating beneath them ever so slightly.]

What I wanted was for my friends and family to be safe. Instead, Trip died down there because of you.

["Because of me." She knows that, really. But it's easier to lash out at Raina.]
hackitude: unsure, surprised, disturbed (thought that you were driving)

[personal profile] hackitude 2015-04-26 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't want any of this! I didn't know-- nobody told me jack shit! It's all, cryptic this, cryptic that! I didn't go down there to transform. That was all you. Ever since I met you, you've brought nothing but pain and misery to me and everyone I know! In exchange for what? Was it worth it, Raina?

hackitude: confused, unsure (i climbed to the top)

Stealing-- [she gives Raina a look of total bewilderment.]

How does that even work? You can't steal someone else's DNA. You realise that what you call our "fate" is nothing more than someone else's genetic experiment, right? I didn't steal anything. Whether I'd been there or not, your result would've been the same.

[When Raina reveals her literal thorns, though, Skye takes a step back. Wary. She studies the other woman for a moment, eyes narrowed.]

... I don't know. Looks like your true self is finally visible on the outside, if you ask me.
hackitude: silly, smiling, informative (a hundred jewels between teeth)

[Skye gives a funny sounding noise that is half choked-scoff, half barked laugh. Whatever it is, it's cynical and without mirth.]

Oh-- yeah! And what a great future that is. Being hunted by Kree scouts, exiled from SHIELD by the very people I considered to be my family, hunted by them so they can-- I don't even know. Put me down? Run tests on me? I might not look like you, but they think I'm just as much a monster as you. My own best friend was championing the giving out of a shoot-to-kill powered people order, before she found out I was one of them.

Where ever I go, I bring death and destruction. [Isn't that something Raina once said? Though not to Skye...] So don't presume like you know anything about my future.
hackitude: arms crossed, unimpressed (all these secrets that i shouldn't tell)

[personal profile] hackitude 2015-04-30 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
... Unfortunately.

Look-- whatever, just. Stay away from my friends, okay?
hackitude: ew, nope (but then I finally felt the weight)

[personal profile] hackitude 2015-05-01 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't want to fight me on this one, Raina. Trust me. If I have to, I'll roast your reputation alive for the whole network to see. I'll tell everybody what a manipulative piece of shit you really are, rather than risk you getting your claws into the people here I care about. I did it with Grant Ward. I can do it with you.

Oh, and before you think you can turn around and do it to me first so I can't-- don't. I've been here longer than you. People here know me. They don't know you. I know you're good, but who do you think they're really going to trust, when it comes down to it?

So just walk away, Raina.
hackitude: arms crossed, unimpressed (all these secrets that i shouldn't tell)

[Skye narrows her eyes but lets Raina pass, arms crossed.]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Sonic.
